Odyssey Battery

Quick Overview

Whether for everyday or emergency use, today’s vehicles are loaded with more electronics than would have been imaginable just a few years ago. The ODYSSEY® battery has been designed to keep up with the changes. Because its plates are made of pure virgin lead (unlike the lead alloy in most batteries), we can pack in more plates. And more plates mean more plate surface area, and much more power — twice the overall power and three times the life of conventional batteries — up to 400 cycles at 80% depth of discharge!

Most are acid flooded (causing acid burns and spills); some wet sealed or “gelled”

STORAGE LIFE

2 years before needing charge @ 25˚C (77˚F)

6-12 weeks before needing charge

SHIPPING

Air transportable; US Department of Transportation classified non-spillable (less expensive)

Ground transport; classified as hazardous material (more expensive)

END OF LIFE

Battery slowly loses power at end of life; no catastrophic failure

Immediate and catastrophic loss of power (can leave you stranded)

Designed and built to last up to 3 times as long.

Thanks to rugged construction and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) design, ODYSSEY batteries have an 8-12 year design life and a 3-10 year service life. Welded intercell connections enable it to withstand extreme vibration, and AGM design holds acid in place to prevent spills, even when installed on its side. And unlike conventional batteries, ODYSSEY batteries can be stored for up to 2 years and still be returned to full power.*
